June SAT: Chemistry Post-Test Discussion

<p>Can someone please reply to Post #395 if you remember anything about either of those questions?</p>

<p>I took AP Chem, but I honestly didn’t feel that it was difficult. Not easy, but definitely not “hard”. The AP exam on the other hand…</p>

<p>ACTTester the NaCl i think had distillation and condenser as the choice. the matching section was asking which would help with separation so for the NaCl question it was distillation and condenser while for the funnel and filter it was seperating the precipatate</p>

<p>

Ah ok, thank you. I’m more confident I put the right answers.</p>

<p>what do you guys think a -4 will be?</p>

<p>@ Chewydog </p>

<p>yes, fair judgement</p>

<p>@ Studyingforchem</p>

<p>um, according to our fellow CC chemists, you might get an 800 or 790 at least.
(Good for you then)</p>

<p>But you’d have to be sure you that you didn’t make any other mistakes</p>

<p>@Taberwable </p>

<p>Thanks. I hope the curve is generous. I did make some “What the hell was I thinking” mistakes on this test. From the list on this forum, I don’t think I made any other mistakes, except for one question that I’m not quite sure of what I put. What would a -5 be?</p>

<p>What was the curve for the May test?</p>

<p>"For the bunsen burner graduated cylinder question or washing buret with the titrant
not sure if someone answered this but im sure when i was reviewing the review book they said thats a safety precaution, using the titrant "</p>

<p>Yeah, I really hope the answer is the titrant… though it seems to be confirmed that it’s not.</p>

<p>@llyana and icyveins
Sorry, but you always rinse the burent with the titrant before titrating because Amy excess water found in the burer causes dilution and renders the data inaccurate.</p>

<p>Uh… Just realized how many typos I had in my last post. Stupid autocorrect…Editing:</p>

<p>what would a -12 be on this test?</p>

<p>@violinplayer</p>

<p>What would you like to hear? :stuck_out_tongue:
12 omits gives you about a 750.</p>

<p>@chewydog</p>

<p>An 800. LOL :P</p>

<p>So I got a <750 then?</p>

<p>Oh crap, I just realized I read the titrant question incorrectly. No wonder I was so confused. -___-</p>

<p>@ Studyingforchem</p>

<p>-5, maybe around 790 </p>

<p>don’t worry actually since none of us could change his/her score anyways lol</p>

<p>we’ll just have to wait and see the curve :)</p>

<p>@violinplayer</p>

<p>lol wouldn’t I wish for that too!</p>

<p>Depending on the curve, you might get lucky, but I’d stick with an estimate of 750.</p>

<p>@icyveins … if you’re starting with 85,
-1 for each question omitted
-5/4 for each question wrong…not 1/4.</p>

<p>so that would be -5 + -10 = -15 –> 70/85</p>

<p>what’s the scale for a raw score of like 70? of 72?</p>

<p>no way. really??? that’s way too much.</p>
